I’ve been back in school for a week now and already I feel as though I am in way over my head. Do you know how many books I had to purchase this semester? 12! That is so beyond ridiculous to me! But then again, all my pre-med buddies keep telling me “Just wait ’til you’re in med. school.” Touché.
I’m not surprised I’m already swamped with homework. In fact, I’ve already begun the research process for a few classes because there are many oral presentations I must be prepared for. HPV articles, novel reviews, new drug information, you name it. I don’t think I’ve done over three oral presentations before in a single semester.
The only non-science class I am taking this fall is quite a nice change, I must say. I’m required to read seven novels, all Asian American literature. Finished The Kite Runner today, very depressing book. I actually had to put it down several times because I was becoming too wrapped up in the story. Very haunting novel, I highly recommend it.
As far as work goes, I forgot how much I hate working at the strip club while going to school. On the days I work, I’m there until 2 o’clock in the morning. Waking up for class after sleeping just four or five hours has always proved to be quite difficult on my part. Almost impossible, in fact. I’ve never been a morning person and signing up for an 8 o’clock class this semester was such a bad idea.
The club has been quite dead lately and it’s turned most of the girls who work there into money hungry savages who are willing to stomp all over you just to make a dollar. You learn real quick who your friends are and who is willing to throw you under the bus. But there’s nothing more you can do but put on your best smile and keep yourself looking sexy yet classy. I’ve learned that it’s the gentlemen who tip the best and classiness is always appreciated.
My old lab partner from school is thinking about auditioning at the club. I think she’d be a great asset seeing as how she used to be a go-go dancer in California a few years ago. I hope she decides to audition, she’d be a blast to hang out with when it’s slow.
Halloween is coming and I’ll be working that night. Time to start searching for costumes!
